Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: ‘No excuses for Chelsea game’

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his side have no “cheap excuses” regarding a lack of preparation time for Saturday’s game at Chelsea.

Their Premier League game at Stamford Bridge kicked off at 12:45 BST.

The Gunners were beaten in Croatia by Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday, the same day the Blues beat Maccabi Tel Aviv at home.

“I don’t use that as an excuse,” said Wenger. “I believe we are in a position where we can perform.”
